The question is not if the person is guilty or not, it's how you prove it.
If you can do that by this data, one has to be extremely careful to get the whole story. Data is only useful when complete and without being complete it can easily be misinterpreted. Don't get me wrong, to some extend I agree with what google does but I think that when a major company gets involved in court it may even influence the court thinking that "a large company like google wouldn't present them wrong data". Incomplete data is nearly the same and there's nobody to judge on that except for the arrested guy and his lawyer. In my country the court has to proof you're guilty, in the above it sound more like you have to prove you're not guilty. Those are completely different stories and regarding data it may be not that easy to prove you're not guilty. I don't log all my net activity and I wonder how many of us do. It would be difficult to proof otherwise if google says it's true !
I visit China quite often and I think China isn't doing that bad (but agree some things should change). My believe is that lots of western people don't realise that you can't change a third world country overnight. This will take time. I believe in the chinese people to work on their future. I'd suggest to revied this thread in 20 years from now and see how they did. I bet it will turn out quite well for China.
Do you believe that europe had freedom and human rights always ? US didn't have that either, see your history lessons for that. How about the industrialisation in Europe ? People really worked their asses off those days, much comparable to todays Chinese sweatshops. They worked there because they needed the money and at the same time they where working on a better economy. Same thing happens in China and if you look at history carefully, you know this takes time to change. People will eventually get richer and will demand more freedom and better working environments. This is a gradual process and can't be forced that easily. It's a work in progress, very much comparable of what happened in our western countries a long time ago.
Concerning the jobless people in your country and mine. We can't compete that easily to cheap labor, but we can compete in quality. Now, it's up to us to convince the people to buy quality over cheap stuff and that's a tough job to do. Now consider yourself the owner of a company....where would you outsource your product ? I bet you'd be doing it such a way that you can be competitive in the market because if you don't you will not survive. So, you either win by quality or by price. Either one will justify your choice to outsource. Note that this choice is very much customer driven. You'd need to change the customer in order to make a different choice. Note that China also becomes more expensive when economy becomes better for everyone there (but it will take a long time). China currently has a large supply of cheap labor, which we don't have any more.
About conservative thinking I think the rest of the world will pass you by and you'd be asking yourself what the hell happened after a few years. Get more conservative people in the government and China may even bypass your economy as well in a few years. The world is spinning and there's not much anyone can do to stop that. A bit of cerservative thoughts aren't so bad, but a good mix of progressive thinking would be what all those jobless people in your and my country need.
I suggest you try to travel the world a bit more and see what's really happening out there, than make up your mind about how to deal with it.
Please next time listen to me and read the resume of the personnel that you employ.
1) Don't hire nerds for foreign jobs 2) Don't hire anyone who knows what a USB stick is for duty outside US 3) Don't hire anyone who knows where "qwerty" is coming from for duty outside US 4) If they know any of they above, they belong to the CIA....
We locked up the wrong guy and now we face public exposure.
What shall we do ?
1) Lock the guy up for life ? 2) Lock him up and the press too ? 3) bomb the whole world ? 4) hire the guy to become part of the CIA and say to the press we released the guy ? (of course telling him , if he speaks he faces Mr.Gunn).

For me a VIC-20 and after that a C-64, a 128 and an amiga500. At the time it was a nice toy to learn a bit of programming. I remember it well, spending hours of assembly programming on that 6502 when I was an 11 year old kid. Nowadays, it's still my job to write software......
About the same experience here with working in China. I've been of and on the China for the past 8 years and form our Chinese devision we've never had the quality nor the planning that we managed to get in Europa. Currently our company is doing extremely bad. We moved most activities to China over the past 8 years and I've spend about 2.5 years in China. I've basically seen the company going to waste bit by bit. It's a pitty that it worked out this way because I also believe that with the correct plan and correct balance between work in China and work here it can be a success and profittable for all parties.Now both parties end up with a loss. Very strange is that no manager ever listened to the warnings that we send to them (we already saw this coming a few years ago and warned them many times). I'd call it mismanagement, but I guess these guys will find another explaination for this disaster:-)
Indeed, it has nothing to do with liquid crystal, but it has something to do with TFT. AFAIK E-ink is produced in TFT factories, meaning it can use similar processing for the active plate. SO, introducing it into mass-production should be a relatively small step for a TFT factory.
You can only buy it when someone is willing to invest in the production first. That have been E-ink/Philips/Sony and they are still doing that I think. Adding flexibility to the screen is added value to make the market share larger. It will be easier to carry around, so more people will buy it. This however is not mass-production yet, but more high segment of the market I guess. The problem with that is that factories that produce E-ink are basically LCD factories and probably can earn more by just making large volumes of LCD instead of E-ink.
E-ink has most advantage in applications when static images are displayed for a longer time because it doesn't consume energy in that state (only when switching basically). So, this makes it perfectly suitable for low framerate applications like e-book readers, not TV sets. It also doesn't pass light through the display as a LCD does, it reflects light, just like paper. Pointing an external light source on your TV set is also not very likely to give a good result.
The problem is that MS forces this beast onto the consumer by every new PC that is sold, so probably we'll see this Vista thing around at some point of time even though most people don't have a need for this (XP or even w2k is enough for most users and other users use OSX/Linux/BSD) I'm very interested in how many XP users are really waiting for Vista. I personally don't know any. In fact, most XP users I know are either happy with it or thinking about switching to Linux. Sad that the consumer can not really chose when they buy a PC.
I can't call VS a decent IDE. I do miss a lot of features which some open source IDE's have. Fortunately I don't need to do any large projects with VS, so I don't have to look for an alternative for my work, but in case I would need to do large projects with it, I wouldn't be happy with VS.
No need to worry that much, Skype still works well (I'm in Shanghai now and using it). Also, you best buy a chinese cell phone card and use that to call. It'll save you lots of money.
Ford will tell you what tires are recommended for their car. MS will give 3rd parties their API. If that breaks, it's MS's responcebility. I don't believe that changes MS makes should force 3rd party companies to invest money in updating their software.
You forget that something needs to be solved first. How do you keep the 3 different video outputs synchronised ? xine (and I think also mplayer) do not support these functions (yet).
Anyways, this would defenately be the cheapest and probably the best way to solve this problem at the moment.
That's not a good way to do it. It hurts MS clients mostly.
The way to deal with MS is to not buy their products in the first place and as Linux users we should tell people who don't know what MS is doing about their dirty games so that also windows users won't buy it any longer. This is perhaps a slow process, but every consumer convinced this way will not buy MS stuff easily now or in the future. When this interface will not get popular, there's no need for Linux support either I guess.

Sounds like they are very serious about open source.
